Arsenal vs Aston Villa Latest Odds<\/p>\n
Having won seven of their last eight meetings with this opposition, they are priced at 13\/20 (1.65) with bet365 to come out on top once again.<\/p>\n
After taking 12 points from the first available 12 this league season, Dean Smith\u2019s men have lost their last two consecutive matches but can be backed at 4\/1 (5.00) to bounce back with big win here.<\/p>\n

Arsenal vs Aston Villa Team News<\/p>\n
Gabriel Martinelli and Pablo Mari are both definitely ruled out, while Calum Chambers remains a major doubt due to injury.<\/p>\n
Bertrand Traore could be in contention following a groin injury, although Tom Heaton, Kortney Hause and Wesley are all still sidelined.<\/p>\n
Arsenal vs Aston Villa Preview<\/p>\n
With just one goal to their name in the last three league fixtures, Mikel Arteta\u2019s team will have been particularly encouraged to put four past Molde in the Europa League in midweek.<\/p>\n
They should be feeling fairly confident of maintaining that prolific form against a visiting defence they have scored past 16 times in the last four encounters on home soil.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s more, the Villans have conceded three times in three of their last four league matches, albeit scoring 14 times in five games themselves including seven in that famous win over Liverpool.<\/p>\n
